Rabbits are about body and soul. Consider the amazing perceptive abilities of the rabbit. Radar-like hearing and near 360 degree vision speak of sensitivity. The rabbit reminds us to examine and utilize the tools we have within ourselves. Although our instincts are innate, they also need nurturing and development.
The horses senses are based on their vulnerable status as prey animals. They must be aware of their surroundings at all times. They have the largest eyes of any land mammal.
The Horse symbolizes intuition and sensing. The Horse teaches us to drop the need for reason and release our dependence on planning.
With the help of horse wisdom, we stand at a distance and take in the situation before cautiously approaching at an angle. We sense with our whole bodies before analyzing with our minds.
The horse's remarkable intuitive capability encourages us to trust in our own intuition.
If you've ever observed a Duck, you may have noticed that they like their space. They naturally maintain graceful space between each other as they float along the river. Duck is keenly aware of his/her surroundings, effortlessly adjusting to every moment of those around it. Duck also speaks up about how it feels! Therefore duck has much to teach about speaking up for oneself and speaking our own truths.
Sheep are symbols of the simple goodness we bring to life when we have the desire and affection to do good for others and to be good ourselves. Such goodness is gentle and patient, just like sheep, but needs to be protected from attack by other selfish parts of our character that can easily destroy our desire to do good for others. This can be seen in the way a shepherd is able to bring a flock of sheep together to protect and guide it and rescue those ones that have gone astray. Sheep are often a sign of material wealth just as we can be spiritually rich if we bring together all sorts of good affections in our lives.
